Like Cloud, Red XIII is a well-rounded character good at both physical attacks and casting magic. His victory pose is to scratch himself behind an ear, then stand up on his hind legs. His victory pose loops.

Red XIII uses various hairclips, decorative combs, and other "headdresses" to enhance his fighting abilities, but unlike with other characters, his weapon is not rendered on his battle model. His weapons have decent power and many boost his Magic stat.

Seraph Comb is obtained after the Cave of the Gi. With 68 battle power, it is the strongest weapon in the game up until that point, and most other characters do not acquire weapons of equal power until the Temple of the Ancients and after. Red XIII is also the only close-range character to acquire a long-range weapon, the Hairpin.
